Welcome
to Collective Foole!
"Resistance is foolish. Your
biological distinctiveness and trivia knowledge will be added to our
own."
Welcome
to Collective Foole's Trivia Team website. We're
a team that participates in the "World's Largest Trivia
Contest" held each April in Stevens Point, WI.
Mission Statement:
To use creativity,
technology, experience, hard work and determination to WIN the World's
Largest Trivia Contest.
Why do we call ourselves Collective Foole?
Well, we think the Borg from Star Trek are pretty darn cool.
They assimilate knowledge just like us. They use it
for dominating the galaxy, we're happy just to conquer trivia contests.
But seriously though, here's how we define a collective:
A collective is a group of
people who share or are motivated by at least one common issue or
interest, or work together on a specific project(s) to achieve a common
objective.
We also like to have
fun, and that's where the Foole part comes in. A long, long
time ago in a galaxy far, far away (uh oh, a Star Wars reference!)
there was really cool, funny comedy album put out by a man named George
Carlin. A bunch of the people on our team thought it was
pretty funny and decided to use it in a trivia team name. And
as they say, the rest is history...
We're super excited and already getting ready
for Trivia 42 (April 8th-10th, 2011), it starts in
exactly
Our team name for
the upcoming 2011 contest will be:
Collective Foole
Feel
free to look around, and make sure you come back as these pages will be
updated very often.
UPDATES:
- 11-24-2010: Team name change due to the
merger of two wonderfully awesome groups of trivia fanatics.

to make it official! CNOF/Norm's Foole and The Collective are
now merged and looking to kick some butt come April...
